I just recently purchased this car and i don't know where to start. I plan to replace the speakers and the headunit with an aftermarket one. Factory speaker is 4" and they are enclosed in a box in each door.

What component/coax. speaker should i go with? I don't plan to spend more than $500 for the speakers and headunit and i understand that it'll be more bang for the buck buying on the forum used/new. Also what headunit should i go with? I want to stick to an alpine unit since a lot users on this forum has experience with it.

As for the factory sub that it has, i'm thinking about tossing it out because i'm going to use an actual sub for the setup. I'm going to be using a pair of 10" re se powered by a pa3000d amp.

Oh yea, i want to go active with this setup. I have an mtx 1004 amp that i am going to use so please recommend speakers that this amp will be able to handle.

Do anybody have any idea what the alt's ampage is? It also has an interstate battery but i think its small so i'll need a second battery to go in the trunk.

Any recommendations would be appreicated! Thanks
